    Granted! But alas, you were in the loo and the answering machine was full so he couldn’t leave a message telling you how much he admires your dearly beloved’s artwork!

    I wish the nail varnish on my toes would stop chipping!

  2. Apryl July 4, 2009 at 10:43 am

    Granted…the nail polish on your toes will never chip again, unfortunately your toes have just fallen off.

    I wish my hair would behave and not look like medusa stuck her finger in an eletrical socket!

  3. Vikki July 4, 2009 at 11:12 am

    Granted : The nail varnish on your toes stop chipping but this is due to the fact that someone swapped your nail varnish for permanent ink and as a result all your toes drop off.

    I wish i could live in New Zealand.

  4. Deenie July 4, 2009 at 11:25 am

    You now live in New Zealand! However, they started filming a new Lord of the Rings movie nearby. Your house was overrun by orcs and your garden produce pilfered by naughty hobbitses needing a snack.

    I wish my family lived closer.

  5. lou July 4, 2009 at 11:35 am

    Granted : They moved so close you could not move ! they all moved in with you, and in every room of you’re house was just overrun by you’re family
    an the bed room was no longer yours ..

    I wish i did not have to cook today !

  6. Carmen July 4, 2009 at 11:53 am

    Granted. I came to your house to cook but am so bad I burnt your house down.

    I wish Alice Cooper would spot me in the crowd at his gig.

  7. Vikki July 4, 2009 at 12:13 pm

    Granted. Alice Cooper does spot you in the crowd at his gig, unfortunately it is only after a fellow fan has had too much alcohol to drink and accidentaly throws up on you,Sorry Carmen!

    lol its a word Donnie made up on Twitter (twitterhug=Twug)

  15. Denise July 4, 2009 at 1:48 pm

    Granted but unbeknown to you your boss has stated that anyone who does not turn up for work today will be fired and will remain jobless and penniless for life.

    I wish wishes would come true.

  18. Puzzle July 4, 2009 at 2:29 pm

    “I wish wishes would come true”

    Ah but they do! But my first wish is always to block everyone else’s wish… sorry!

    I wish my upstairs neighbour would stop knocking on the floor… what’s he building at 9 am?

    I wish I could snap my fingers and get everything done in a day!

  22. Carmen July 4, 2009 at 3:16 pm

    This is so making me chuckle today 😛

    Granted but you are now sitting there, drumming your fingers with nothing to do, bored out of your mind.

    I wish the kids would stop squabbling.

  23. Puzzle July 4, 2009 at 3:29 pm

    “I wish the kids would stop squabbling.”

    Granted but now they’re not making any noise and you’re going out of your mind wondering what they could be up to.

    I wish people would stop going shopping in flip flops. Who started that annoying trend?

  24. Kimber Boyd July 4, 2009 at 3:44 pm

    granted but they start wearing annyoning sounding shoes

    I wish i could get to meet Donnie

  25. Jade July 4, 2009 at 3:45 pm

    granted, but now they’re all going shopping in clogs instead, so now you have to put up with the irritating clunking of the clogs instead of the incessant flapping of the flip flops!

    i wish that my Illustrations could be as famous as Suzannes! 😀

  26. Kimber Boyd July 4, 2009 at 4:13 pm

  28. Wendy Madison July 4, 2009 at 4:57 pm

    I wish for once I could win the competition.:-)

  29. lil one July 4, 2009 at 5:09 pm

    You win the competition but your gift gets lost in cyberspace.

  30. Jessica July 4, 2009 at 5:13 pm

    Granted, but whoops, instead of a quiet day, it’s a quiet life without fireworks or parades.

    I wish I had amazing drawing skills.

  31. Puzzle July 4, 2009 at 5:27 pm

    Granted but the only image that pops in your head is cucumbers and you get recognized as the best cucumber painter in the world.

    Only thing is… you HATE cucumbers!!!

    I wish I could remember every movie I seen in my life

  32. Jade July 4, 2009 at 5:44 pm

  37. Nikita July 4, 2009 at 6:08 pm
